fear the microbial bacon legions

Tue May 26, 2009, 12:59 AM

hi everyone.

just back from doctor. doc thinks i has swine flu. they've sent pathology off. what's hilarious is he said that "if i was running a fever" with the other symptoms they'd assume it was swine flu and be pumping me full of anti-virals and tammyflu and whatnot. the thermometer said 37.5 which is within margin of error of normal, for most people.

fuggin doctors never BELIEVE me when i've said, for over a decade, that when i'm feeling well, i tend to run a degree to two degrees below normal.

har dee har.

don worry too much, tho. the microbial piggy legions may have breached the gates, but they shall be defeated! or something. i probably don't make too much sense right now. i blame bacon flu.

Yeah, My wife's regular body temp is a couple degrees above normal, and any time we have to see the doctor they simply refuse to accept that. They're always prescribing stuff to get her 'fever' down.

It's a shame they are so unwilling to accept anything outside of 'normal'. It seems fairly limiting to me...

eeep! I'm going to turn into a little piggy?! lol

Thankfully my cough has receded somewhat. Oh and I hate my doctor by the way because when I came in she just took a look at the back of my throat and prescribed me allergy medication and ignored my protest of "I don't have allergies, I'm telling you I have a virus because I FELT sick two weeks ago."

heh, ours was seven rounds of "are you a smoker?" "have you ever been a smoker?" "have you ever tried smoking temporarily but formed no habit?" after he took a listen to my lungs.

well, they'll except outside of normal, but not so far outside that someone within the one standard deviation of normal would be dead if they showed those readings for more than a few hours.

ya...I always get the "have you ever taken drugs, alcohol, coffee, smoke, etc"

After telling them the first time that I never do those things they just keep asking like it's going to change

Ups, not a post in 7 days...

Are you there? Did you win?

~kite-san Jun 3, 2009, 1:22:15 PM

in process of winning. sorry, i don't tend to update my journal unless there's something big to say. (like interuptions of the important workload (writing, i mean. screw WORK

) when the project order needs rearranging, big events, when i feel a need to bitch unflinchingly, etc)
